likely. I’m my mind, when I saw Hastings start it was if Hawkins was not playlng to win but trying to develop a quarterback. I truly don’t know what he was thinking.
Now, yes, but the staff still needs to demonstrate that they're doing everything in their power to win. They're not.
Seriously reconsidering season tickets for next year. When I commit heavily to teams I kind of like when coaches play to win, not treat the year with our most stacked roster ever as a rebuilding year for no apparent reason
At least he got put in while the game is salveageable. Expect defense to stiffen up in the second half too when they're not on the field as much hopefully
No, caring about the game and the outcome doesn't make us 'fairweather fans.' That's nonsense. Noting that the QB who gives us a chance was riding the pine until late in the half doesn't make us 'fairweather fans,' just observant.
I went to pretty much every game, the whole game, as a student during the Gould years where we were lucky to pick up a D1 win. Unlike most of this forum, I didn't get to experience any sort of football success as an Aggie fan until Hawkins came along and I'm certainly thankful for not being terrible every week anymore. I get very testy at being called a fair-weather fan after the abject disappointment this team kept dragging me through year after year with me keeping coming back for more for some reason.
That being said, now that the school seems to take football seriously now I expect the coaches to do everything they can to play to win. Good programs don't play for .501 seasons, they play for championships. That's what I want us to strive for, so it's really frustrating to see the program not seemingly striving for it.
I'm not saying we would be winning if HR had started, but I don't understand the justification for starting MH going into this game. The HR benching was justified at the time, but the MH experiment has been disastrous.
must be regional. I get Dave Doeren (head coach nc state) coke commercials. My wife says it’s an intentional parody - it is just BAD with edits every 5 seconds. Maybe he couldn’t remember his lines.
I've done my share to support this team through good and bad via other social media, donations, purchases, and trying to spread word of mouth to my friends, on top of going to dozens of losing games.
I'm not a student anymore though and my time and money have value; the program doesn't get to claim either for free without accountability
Okay, I said Hastings isn't good. Not a fair weather fan at all though. I've watched the Aggies since the 90s, through the good and bad... Every single game beginning to end no matter the outcome. Hastings has objectively not been good over the course of the last couple games. He has more interceptions than touchdowns and that is never a recipe for winning.
If you wanna call me fair weather that's fine, but I don't think my comment was unjustified.
I'll try to speak for myself. It's not that they're disappointing that has me upset. I've seen plenty of losses. It's making the same mystifying coaching choices, week after week. Hastings may be great down the road, but he's been struggling the last few games, and he's had a poor game today. I want the coaches to give us a chance at our best outcomes, and until they put HR in, they weren't doing that.
